Wilo's 1.7 Sword Blocking Resource Pack

This resource pack completely transforms the sword blocking animation, reverting the weapon's appearance to how it looked in Minecraft version 1.7 and earlier releases.

Currently, there are many datapacks and plugins that restore sword blocking mechanics from the pre-1.9 era. However, the standard game displays character models and poses similar to version 1.8 during blocking. This resource pack corrects this discrepancy, making the blocking visuals much more accurate and consistent with classic game versions.

Important Compatibility Note

The developer created this resource pack under the assumption that your used datapack or plugin for sword blocking utilizes the animation parameter {animation:"block"} — this is how most such modifications operate. In the future, an alternative version of the pack is planned that will support blocking without this parameter.
